For the recent past general ac?
tivity has prevailed iu tbe ware?
house circles of Fannville. Buyers
?have been on tbe alert, auctioneers
?ave caugnt on to new glibness oi
tongue, commission merchants bave
had a new gleam of eye and falm?
ara bave bad Christmas money to
?pend. And when farmers spend
?Boney Far ni ville merchants wear
genuine Taft smiles.
Burley day gave new thrill to
ju, market, and Mr. Joel Watkins,
af Appomattox, looked the personi?
fication of contentment when he
'eceived from the tobacco grown on '
me acre a fraction over $208. '
Some farming does pay. Other '
formers have been getting over I
|13 par hundred for dark tobacco,
?Baking a good average on all grad-;)
as sold. The want of a good sea- ?
ion haa had its effect upon the j I

The above case which was in?
stituted to condemn residential pro?
perty to public school uses, has
I been decided by Judge Hundley in
I favor of the school. The case was
e aborately argued by Hon. R. K.
Byrd, for tbe school, and Mr. Tins

Judg eHundley took time to ren?
der his decision, which was deliv

The decision is an elaborate and
able one in which the law was care?

An appeal, it is said, will be tak?
